Ingredients
Butter — I use unsalted butter because I like to add salt and pepper to taste as the soup is cooking but you can also use salted butter if you prefer. Onion — Any kind of onion will work in the soup but I tend to go for milder onions like white or yellow. Garlic — I use the minced garlic from a jar but you can mince your own garlic if you prefer. Beef Broth — Here again I choose the low sodium versions of beef broth but you can use regular if you like. I have also made this vegetable soup with chicken broth and vegetable broth too. Fire Roasted Tomatoes — Purchase canned fire roasted tomatoes. I prefer name brands, I just think they are more flavorful. Green Beans — Fresh green beans work best but you could also use frozen, and then I’d go for canned as a last option. Celery Stalks — Any kind of fresh celery will work here. Whole Carrots — Same goes for carrots. Chop up whole carrots, they are more flavorful than baby carrots in my opinion. Broccoli — Fresh broccoli is my preference but frozen works too. Salt and Cracked Black Pepper — Any kind of salt and pepper you have on hand will work. Parmesan, Fresh Basil or Thyme — What do you love in your soup? Fresh herbs, parmesan, or all of the above? Add them in!
Best Vegetables to Put In Soup
I love veggie soup! Here are some of my go-to vegetables I love to add: Beef broth — No need to make fresh broth here. Canned or boxed broth will work just perfectly, which is key in getting this soup ready to devour in less than 30 minutes. Leftovers — Ah, man, I love it when we have leftover soup! So easy to reheat and tastes just as good (if not better) as it did the first day. I tend to make extra just so I can have leftovers. Freezing — Also, this soup freezes really well, so if you want to make a double batch and freeze half in an airtight container for a few weeks from now, I promise it’ll be worth the extra effort.
